So, it's.....not really a remake, then?

(Because if it was, Perseus would be fighting Medusa, and we could leave Hades to Kratos.)

And Tom Green as the Kraken...

So far it's looking very different then the original movie....

This is such a horrible mistake. There is no reason to remake 'Clash of the Titans', because the original still holds up in pretty much every way (especially sound design and recording). They may as well do a remake of 'Star Wars', on the same justification: improvements in visual effects technology.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the original 'Clash of the Titans'. If they really have that bug up their butt, why not just pick a different Greek myth?

You gotta figure that there won't be much middle ground with this one... either a colossal success or..... splat!

Worthington has been cast in some massive movies, Avatar and Terminator Salvation so naturally by the time Clash comes out he will be a household name.
